Fire Fox News! Fox News is a fake news greedy media machine

Revoke Fox’s broadcast license!

Opinion echo published in the Ventura County News, in California:

Today I submitted a complaint to the FCC. 

It was in response to the recent revelations in the Dominion lawsuit about the lies, conspiracy theories and corruption permeating Fox News, from the broadcast staff to management and ownership.

Like so many citizens, I have relatives and friends who have been taken in, seduced, and brainwashed by those lies. Evidence indicates Fox News was motivated by greed — that they could lose viewers and, therefore, money. The decision to deceive Fox viewers with a steady stream of falsehoods and exaggerations is like providing drugs, or alcohol, or even cigarettes to an addict.

Unfortunately, at some point reality has no effect on the Trump cult members.

Fox News has been granted a broadcast license to use the American airwaves that belong to all of us. Their reckless disregard for the public welfare, and naked thirst for profits, represents a fraud on American citizens. It is a breach of any journalistic standard, and of the responsibility conferred by their license.

I invite anyone who is outraged by the recent revelations of the deplorable activities at Fox News, or anyone who has a family member or friend corrupted by Fox’s lies and conspiracy theory nonsense, to contact the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) and lodge your complaint.

The Fox News broadcast license should be revoked.
